As a one-time newspaper editorial cartoonist journalist I can say that such censorship and conflicts of interest extend down to the local news coverage. It would be great to see every community with a network of local Substackers collaborating to follow and report on the news that is ignored or massaged by local media outlets. Here in the US, local newspapers are falling like leaves from a tree, leaving many communities as news deserts with no coverage of local government.
Last night's coverage of Biden's campaign event near Valley Forge was yet another example of failed network journalism. While focusing on the campaign machinations, the obvious cadaver sin the newsroom -- dead Gazans -- were ignored. Feel free to make use of the cartoon with: CARTOON: Bomb-Dropping Mass Murderer Urps Up Every Myth, Lie & Bromide Imaginable About 'Merican De'mock'racy
